nowicki and poteracki

Hi - Looking for any information on nowicki family in cook county. My grandfather was andrew nowicki m. josephine poteracki. Andrew was born October 28, 1874 d. october 25, 1950 in Chicago. m. 2/1/1899. They had 17 children but not all lived to adulthood. Children were adam, john, frank (b. 11/7/1899), michael stanley (b. 4/11/1901), helen, anna, richard, joseph (b. 3/19/1909), leonard (b. 12/13/1914), cyril joseph, and dorothy theresa. Six baby boys died. I have a lot of info on some of the ones without dates, but have little information on the ones with dates (except for Michael).

I am particularly interested also on any poteracki info. I have pictures but no dates on josephine's parents. Hope someone out there is researching these lines. please e-mail me at brownakacharlie@netscape.net.

I live in Florida and am not sure how to access Cook County records to help me with this.Any help is appreciated.
